If you’re trying to change the numbers, never give up the good fight. Because the industry is resistant to changing its story & itself. 16/

*THREAD* One thing I thought about when I read this story: Most of the executives, EPs, etc who came up & were rewarded within the culture Les Moonves created are still at CBS. Are they all bad? No. Is CBS "fixed" now that Les is gone? Far fucking from it. nytimes.com/2018/11/28/bus…
I got time today. So let's take a trip in the wayback machine. I'm going to do a timeline on all the major reporting on alleged misconduct by various individuals at CBS. Ahem, "alleged." [stares into the distance meaningfully] Here we go:
Last November, allegations surfaced regarding Jeremy Piven, then the star of a (later cancelled) CBS program, Wisdom of the Crowd. Allegations detailed here usatoday.com/story/life/peo… and here buzzfeednews.com/article/krysti…

Brad Kern, a CBS producer who was the subject of three investigations into allegations of abuse and harassment, has been fired. His contract was terminated yesterday. hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/ncis…
The first story I did on Brad Kern, which revealed (last December) that he had been the subject of 2 different CBS HR investigations variety.com/2017/tv/news/b…
The second story I did on Brad Kern, which revealed that, despite the two HR investigations and media coverage of "toxicity" in the workplace, bullying of a nursing mom & more, CBS gave him a new 2 year deal in spring of 2018 hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/brad…

Ageism is an enormous factor in Hollywood. Ageism is terrible for WOC, bad for WW, not good for WM. There are layers to it, but yeah, if you're over a certain age, you are fighting for scraps around the edges (if that). Wrote about it re actresses here hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/fear…
Here's what I'd say to studio and network execs: Do you know the composition of all your shows' assistant staffs? Who are your staff writers? Those are the showrunners and Emmy winners of tomorrow. If they're mostly white, connected, debt-free rich kids.... 😬
Here are some numbers I'll never forget: I did the stats on bcast network showrunners for 2016-2017 season. 80% WM showrunners for new shows. For one particular network: Number of women of color showrunners--1. Number of sons of one prominent executive--2.

🍾🥳🎉🇺🇸🎨Looking back - highlights of oil paintings I did in 2018 - many of you haven't seen these, but if you have- does this take you back to what you were feeling when I was sharing these? So much happened in 2018. Like "Right to Try" bill... (last tweet will say end thread)
2) Remember this? I painted this scene because I thought that @FLOTUS looked like she was walking through a painting in her yellow dress. This seems like it happened a long time ago. 2018 was eventful!
3) My oil painting of a lighthouse is one of my favorite projects this year. It captures the emotions we've shared in 2018. Make sure your sound is up, the music sets the mood. When I see this again, I remember how I was feeling when I painted this...and how I still feel this way

Never give up on a right you have.

We just won approval of a green card for a client under a little-known program that has a yearly cap of only 50. And usually, the denial rate is so high that even most of the 50 available green cards are unused.
Section 13 is a 1957 law that allows former diplomats (and semi-diplomatic personnel) to apply for a green card if they can show compelling reasons why they're unable to return to the country they represented, and that their admission to the US would be in the national interest.
The legal standards are different from asylum, but many Sec. 13 applicants may also qualify for asylum. We filed asylum for him as well, of course, given the high denial rate of Sec. 13. I told him he shouldn't take chances on a law that only helps about 5-6 people per year.

I got a request to share some things I have learned on the way to 35. I'm afraid I haven't learned enough, but I will try to tweet 35 things. Not all today; for as long as it takes me to get to 35.
1. If you have an intellectual that ranks above average, understand that it's both a gift and a curse. Do the work you need to do, to earn the company you respect. Rooms, and even virtual spaces, in which you're the smartest person will drive you to despair.
2. If you're the kind of person that cares deeply about things, it's useless trying to tone it down just because the world is crap & disappointing. Sitting with cynics will wither you rather than give you thick skin. Find "a dream that could use all the love you can give."

I keep thinking back to a discussion a few months on reddit about THE BELGARIAD. Several comments were made about it being cliche and pedestrian, and someone said, “Yeah, it’s a fine story, but it’s never going to be a classic.”
And all I could think to respond was, “It’s over thirty years later and we’re still talking about it. How is that NOT ‘a classic’?
But that got me thinking- I cite THE BELGARIAD (and THE MALLOREON, its sequel series) as one of my influential works. But what is that influence? I know I’ve read the whole series several times. My copies of the books are in terrible shape.

Never give up hope. When we give up, there are countless others whose lives will be hurt far more than they are now. This is when we find out what we are made of. Get involved & channel your anger into electing candidates at all levels of government.
Let's elect candidates who will fight for universal healthcare, who will fight to end gun violence, who will fight for women's rights, who will fight for our union brothers & sisters, who will fight for #Dreamers & those who want to come to America for a better life
Don't allow this dark cloud that this current administration has caused to be the reason we stop fighting. That's what they want & what they're counting on. Let's show them that America is truly better than racism, xenophobia, trans & homophobia, Islamophobia & outright hatred

Should I ramble about Yoshida Shin, or at least what he's done? 🤔
I'll take Qu and Siliva's likes as a Yes. Okay, let's see.
This is Yoshida Shin himself. Pretty average guy. Pretty unsuspecting. Can't talk much on his early work, as it goes back to some really generic 90s anime.
